Title:
Still running in 30 years time?
A client in the resources industry recently asked for a database system that would need to be still running in 30 years time.
My record is only 16 years - that is to say when an old client handed me some 1990 FoxPlus backup diskettes last year I could say I had the same tables STILL RUNNING ON MY LAPTOP (well the son of the son of the son of the son of the original laptop).
But seriously, what backup strategies might be employed today (if any!) to have a VFP database or its data still running in 2036?
